31 March 2011 Mentions of the Newburys in “History of Montville, CT” March 31, 2011

Here is the rest of what I found on the Newbury Family this week. All of the snippets of info below come from the Book “The History of Montville, CT” I was able to get a full copy of this book in PDF form off of Google Books. A wonderful resource for New London County Family History.

Again, I left my notes in copy and past form so you can copy and paste the information into individual people in your own genealogy computer program.
